Lessons learned in a data linkage project on fatal drowning

There are a plethora of data sources for fatal drowning. The process of obtaining and analyzing data to describe the epidemiology of fatal drowning using probabilistic data linkage is complex, lengthy, and cumbersome. Documenting the process and lessons learned can support drowning research and inform regional drowning prevention strategies.

Abstract

There are a plethora of data sources for fatal drowning. The process of obtaining and analyzing data to describe the epidemiology of fatal drowning using probabilistic data linkage is complex, lengthy, and cumbersome. Documenting the process and lessons learned can support drowning research and inform regional drowning prevention strategies.
